Navfree, the free GPS navigation app for the iPhone that was downloaded by more than 3.7 million users, is now available for the Android community as well. The application gets its data from OpenStreetMap, while also allowing users to update information while on the go. As a matter of fact, according to Navmii (the app developer), over 20,000 map corrections are made each month by Navfree users, making the application more and more accurate.
The neat thing is that maps come preloaded, hence allowing you to use Navfree even when there’s no mobile Internet around or it’s too expensive to use it — data roaming can cost a small fortune.
At the moment, only Navfree for Europe is in the Android Market, but we’re hearing versions for other countries will follow shortly…
So what do you say? Would you give Navfree a chance? If so, hit the link below and take it from there.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
